About Group Travel Marketplaces
The Stratford upon Avon event is the fourth Group Travel Marketplace to have taken place in the past four months.
Previous ones have been held in Ascot, Manchester, and southern Wales.
Each event is designed to bring together GTOs and group travel suppliers and every one has included a fam trip – from a trip on a French Brothers’ river cruiser at the Ascot event to a visit to Coronation Street the Tour at the Manchester marketplace.
About The Other Place
The Other Place is the Royal Shakespeare Company’s new festival theatre, which features a 200-seat studio theatre, rehearsal spaces and the RSC’s 30,000 piece costume store.
The theatre was originally opened in 1973 to showcase developmental work but it closed in 2006.
